Too bad there is no convertible

Did anyone notice the 500 HAS resonators? You can see them in the red car being lowered. Interesting.

The mufflers are probably fairly aggressive, more so than the GT350 stockers, so to smooth and control the tone, resonators.

Perma'ban!

Someone get me a price on those rims...

Does anyone know if the vents by the headlights actual vent air? Do they go to an air curtain for the wheels? Hard to tell from pics.

It appears that a majority of the rear exhaust is for the most part similar to the current GT350. Though you can see from the rear fascia that the exhaust pipes themselves have tips and are not integrated into the fascia itself.
But perhaps that insinuates that portions of the aftermarket exhaust system for the GT350 maybe swap-able to the newer model.

Additionally one some of the pictures I reviewed of the GT500 in the past may also indicate that heat exchangers are sitting in the left and right sides of the bumper. It was identified this thing has 6 of them so they have to be in places to direct air consistently.

Personal perference, but I would like the Start button in red. Am a bit surprised they didnt use red or a unique color for the 500.

Hey now ...

Hahahaha, I was very curious if they'd do a convertible flavor (which seems to be a resounding no), simply because I'm a convertible guy. I also figured the previous GT500 was available in a convertible, the ZL1 and Z06 are available in a convertible - you know, maybe leave the R/carbon package/track options exclusive to the coupe (kind of like the 1LE).

The chassis S550 is pretty solid without a roof, but maybe in the context of 100 jillion HP, it would fold up like a taco

If Ford does build something to fill the gap missing from the GT350, like a CPC 5.2L NA car, with better than PP2 running gear, maybe they'll offer that in a convertible.

At any rate, taking bets on how soon we see a GT500 lookalike convertible (I realize that's dependent on parts, so I guess the bet is also, "How soon before we see knock off GT500 parts ?")

I understood it more for the last one, as it was truly still a muscle car/brute, not a handling-focused machine.

This may seem weird, but everytime I see a new "version" of the Mustang, I always seem to want to compare it to how many things one can do with chicken.

 

[WhiteyDog]

I want one. Is there a M6G forum discount?

 

[vincep99]

I like it but not yet ready to trade my 2017 Mustang GT for two reasons:
1. DCT only
2. Maybe I don;t understand the physics but mid 3.0 sec 0 -60? With that HP/weight ratio I would expect 3.2 sec.

It looks like the rear wing is really going hinder visibility

Verts are for bald guys that wear baseball caps

 

[markham51]

And whats so bad about bald guys with baseball caps?

rear tail lights with the "bend ends" from 2018 refresh.
front lights with the old style straight lines on running lights.

nitpicking, but they should match up.
